There's a lot of bad talk about the Red Sox these days. The management of the club (due to the bosses at the top) does not have the means to achieve its ambitions and this frustrates the fans.
And with good reason.
It is therefore normal that the subject of a positive article on the Red Sox is not linked to management, but rather linked to one of the players.
And here we are talking about Triston Casas.
The first baseman, who had a great rookie season in Boston, decided to report to Boston on the sidelines of the rookie development program, which took place at Fenway Park.
He showed up there to answer the recruits' questions and see them in action when they trained.
What's interesting, besides the fact that he didn't have to do it, is that he was in Miami (at home) celebrating his 24th birthday on Monday. He then flew to Boston.
That's dedication. After all, he's not a rookie anymore and he didn't have to show up there.
He wanted to do it (even if he wasn't invited) to meet people there, to help the hopefuls, to create connections and answer questions.
I'm honestly impressed. With him and Trevor Story, who held a camp for the club's midfield prospects, the youngsters are in good hands.
Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, Kyle Teel and Vaughn Grissom, who is expected to play alongside Casas this season, were all in attendance. Casas therefore developed links with them.
He becomes a leader that the club sorely needs. After all, if the goal is to build through youth, you might as well surround the guys, right?
